Static hosting without a JAMstack lecture
Static hosting means the server sends the files you uploaded. There is no PHP runtime in the way, no origin app to crash, and nothing to compile on our side.
When static is the right shape
Marketing pages, documentation, portfolios, project sites, and most things a static site generator already emitted. If you need a database for every request, this is the wrong product page.
How a deploy works
You send a tree of files. We make it the current release and serve it. GitHub push-to-deploy is available; zip is enough.
Questions
Do you run npm build for me?
No. Build locally or in your own CI, then upload or push the output. We host the result, not the toolchain.
